[MMASUX]

Announced yesterday, fight will be at Staples Center in LA

Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez formally announce fourth fight - ESPN

[Kel]

Yeah, saw this on The Ring website earlier and was wondering if anyone has ever fought each other 4 times before? Anyway should be fun, should be fun

[MMASUX]

I don't remember anyone fighting each other four times either. I agree should be fun to watch.

[Violent Demise]

I'm looking forward to this fight. Hard to see this fight disappointing. I'm going with Marquez again.

Azumah Nelson and Jesse James Leija fought 4 times

[generalbulldog]

Ray Robinson and Lamotta also fought at least 4 times, I think the total number was 6 or 7.

Anyway this should be an exciting fight.

[Nameless]

This fight is a safe investment for excitement and fireworks, damn great news!

Hopefully they get PAID. I mean PAID, if this was a $100 PPV every boxing fan should feel at least a little bit obligated to buy it considering the three fights prior.

Some people were against a fourth fight and I call those people crazy or just pussies scared of a little (or a lot) violence.

SIX times I just counted on Boxrec....I thought they only fought twice, he won one and threw the other. I really don't go that far back in boxing interest wise but it's pretty interesting to look at these guys records. Just check out the records of both SRR and JL, they fought the same guys a shit load of times.

I suppose that's when boxing was 'all' venue and fighters were thrown together to entertain rather than to make shit loads of cash. Man I'd have loved to have seen some of that shit.

Just realised I'm completely off-topic sorry bout that.

[Master]

Makes sense that they get paid a lot to beat each other and to lose to anyone else would be harsh. they have beaten each others career out of each other.

[DaxxKahn]

When I heard this yesterday I just shook my head....While I loved the first 3 and love both fighters they were just too taxing of bouts...The type that leave damage to be suffered long after retirement......They have all heart!!!!

[Kirkland Laing]

I think this is a cashout fight for Vazquez. His comeback fight was against a tomato can who'd been out of the ring even longer than Vazquez had been and Vazquez looked beyond shot. I didn't see Marquez's comeback fight but he can't be more shot than Vazquez looked. I think Marquez stops him.

[Kev]

I'm sure it will be entertaining but it's a pointless fight imo. These two guys were in the top 10 p4p in one of the most stacked and exciting divisions and just chose to bash each other to shit like two warring super powers that were then so depleted that the other smaller countries took over.

They aren't relavent to the division any more and that's a shame. They have made money I hope but they are both finished now and if either ever fights a live contender or rival champ again they will end up looking like Arturo Gatti.

[killersheep]

This is a dangerous fight for Vazquez, think about how long he was out with a detached retina. Seriously.

As for fighters that have fought each other 4 times: Wonjongkam has fought Naito 4 times (all title fights). And there will probably be a fifth as the last fight was a draw.

[CutMeMick]

Being ringside for 2 of the 3 fights has been something I'll remember for ever...
It's not in my plans to be there for the 4th fight BUT if it happens it happens. We'll see.

Good luck to both guys. Coming into the 1st fight I was a Rafa fan but I gotta say by the end of the fight I was a fan of both. They both earned all the praise they got and now into the 4th fight I can't help it but just hope they both walk with good health and their heads held high.
